whereby a president can only run for two 7yr terms max

I don't think laws are going to stop anyone here.

I guess he got round the loophole in 2014 by saying the amendment is new .. so this is his "second" term

if he goes against the syrian constitution he will lose all credibility

he was lucky enough to find 4 parties for form a coalition with him to get the 168 seats in parliament he needed

it looks like maybe Russia will concentrate on the north east while Syria handles the south east... its getting close to Israel tho... he wants to be careful

Tim you should go along with it 😛 .. change your name to Bond, Tim Bond

There's a possible flash point between the Russians and the Turks in that heavy bombardment of Al Lataminah area is rather close to a new Turk FOB near Morek, astride the main road north. Assuming the SAA takes the Al Lataminah, they'll have to deal with Turks next - either diplomatically or militarily.

I think until they get most of syria locked down... they should just concentrate of stopping any incursions into Aleppo, but who knows whats on their minds

any rebels they've ever beat they sent them all to Idlib... I imagine thats an extremely overcrowded place right now... and Assad let them keep all their personal weapons

Hey Tim, Fancy a trip to Idlib? 😛

Don't tell me... your submarine car is currently on the fritz

There are virtually no western journalists in the entire country.

First of all it's a meat grinder for anyone near areas of active fighting. Second of all no one wants to let randos cross the border. Getting in is extremely difficult as is not dying.

Which is a shame as it means when stuff like the recent missile strike happens no one has any hope of getting the truth of the matter. You just have to decide which narrative you like best.

haha, Tim works for Fox now apparently 😛

Congrats on the new position, Tim!

she isnt even arguing

and she argued against herslef

herself

I'm still not entirely sure who abby martin is but my experience of joe rogan has been that he's fine until he gets into debates with people he doesn't like or disagree with him.

Then it just gets emotional and he starts tripping up. Basically I kinda figured this would be a disaster from the getgo.

she used to have an RT show called breaking the set

shes pro russia pro venezuela

Boy oh boy.

she criticized Russia while hosting a show on RT and got a guest spot on CNN

gained tons of followers

we were friends but shes pro venezuela antifa

so

is media roots basically just her?

Okay, I'm on like, no sleep at all right now but tl;dr, Tim's being accused(slandered?) by Joe Rogan, a conservative comedian and Abby Martin, a.. socialist(?) 'journalist' so any and all attempts at defending himself is basically going to end up as a shitshow on social media regardless of how he puts it.

Or at least, that's how I'm reading it.

is there a good replacement for the verge and gizmodo? ... like basically .. exactly how those sites were... but like.. a few years back

So, basically just tech news and the like without the bullshit politics?

Or at the very least, if there were politics it wasn't emotional rhetoric?

basically

Are you okay if I basically gave you nothing but youtubers?

I can always check em out

I got banned from the verge 😛

Well they're all a bit more specialised than the sites you listed but. JayzTwoCents, Louis Rossmann and Level1Techs all immediately come to mind.
